Telangana...! An opportunistic politics played by Andhras and the congress

Have you people ever wondered why we are fighting for Telangana. Here I try to present a brief review of history and what has happened in the past.Lets go back to year 1950 when the state of hyderabad(Vellodi Narayana Menon was appointed as the first Chief minister of Hyderabad State on 26 January, 1950 after it was taken from Nizams in Polo Operation) was formed which is now called Telangana and Andhra( a seperate state then )which was under control of Madras.It was then in year 1953 the Telugu's started fighting for a separate state for telugu speaking locals and Poti Sriramulu came into picture.Having seen the unrest among different regional groups in India a SRC(Sates reorganization commission) was formed to create a states in India on basis of linguistic lines.

The States Reorganization Commission (SRC) was not in favour of an immediate merger of Telangana region with Andhra state, despite the common language between the two.

Para 382 of States Reorganization Commission Report (SRC) said "opinion in Andhra is overwhelmingly in favour of the larger unit, public opinion in Telangana has still to crystallize itself. Important leaders of public opinion in Andhra themselves seem to appreciate that the unification of Telangana with Andhra, though desirable, should be based on a voluntary and willing association of the people and that it is primarily for the people of Telangana to take a decision about their future". The concerns of Telanganas were numerous. The region had a less developed economy than Andhra, but with a larger revenue base (mostly because it taxed rather than prohibited alcoholic beverages), which Telanganas feared might be diverted for use in Andhra. They also feared that planned dam projects on the Krishna and Godavari rivers would not benefit Telangana proportionately even though Telanganas controlled the headwaters of the rivers. Telanganas feared too that the people of Andhra would have the advantage in jobs, particularly in government and education.

The commission proposed that the Telangana region be constituted as a separate state with a provision for unification with Andhra state, after the 1961 general elections, if a resolution could be passed in the Telangana state assembly with two-third majority.

The letter is highly significant for it reveals the thinking of Mr Burgula and his observations of the ground realities in Hyderabad state, and the impending merger of Telangana with Andhra .

Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru ridiculed the idea of merging Telangana with the Andhra State, fearing a “tint of expansionist imperialism” in it. Later, he compared the merger to a matrimonial alliance having “provisions for divorce” if the partners in the alliance cannot get on well.

So it was a sheer opportunistic politics played by the Andhras and the congress to out rid communism in Andhra amd Telangana and have congress in power for the next 20 -30 years.

Do you think that all the 4 crore Telangana people are fools to still believe the stunts made by opportunistic politicians in Andhra? The fight in the region of Andhra is not for samaikyaandhra but for power.The one who fighths now or the most popular in colloquial terms would be the next CM for Andhra.If the Andhra's were really for united AP why didn't they raise their voice before or why were they tolerating the biased nature of politicians towards the Telangana region even when every Andhra knows that Telangana is undeveloped and needs attention.

Out of 14 lakh goverment jobs 2.5 lakh people are from Telangana(including Hyderabad which is a part of Telangana and will be a part of Telangana)when Telangana region is 43.47 % of AP.

Today Telangana region contrubutes to 45% of state revenue out of which only 24% is being spent for Telangana.Is this how polticians show regionalism?

COUNT

1.The no.of projects in Telangana?

2.The no.of educationalists and literacy rate from telangana?

3.The no.of educational institutions except for central government instituions(like NIT,IIIT,IIT etc) which has no regional quota?

4.The no.of civil servants?

5.The water share when both major rivers of AP Godavari and Krishna flow from Telangana?

The list is innumerable!

I find no wrong in KCR opportunistic and power politics.Politics is also like business.There is Telangana sentiment and he is using that for prosperity of himself and the people of Telangana.

JAI TELANGANA ! JAI JAI Telangana!
